edmann.com 2.0.1 alpha

More update for my enlightenment yum repo for fedora 17. I have created a rpm package to install the Enlightenment.repo file and also the gpg pub key. The packages are now signed and will be signed from now on.

yum install http://www.edmann.com/Enlightenment/repo/Fedora/17/x86_64/RPMS/enlightenment-repo-0.0.2-1.fc17.x86_64.rpm

I also built a new 17 test machine to test out the install and found that selinux will prevent enlightenment from starting up on the initial startup. I put it in permissive mode and it was able to start. I put it back to enforcing and it worked fine, then restarted with it in default enforcing and i was still able to get into e17.

In other news i am also bulding 386 and x86_64 machines for Fedora 18. I will post the info on how to install them when i am done, only for those wanting ot test the Fedora 18 beta.

I built the new Alpha6 of enlightenment e17. You can use the yum repo to update to it. Also i have been working on learning how to get the Enlightenment Foundation Libraries along with e17 into Fedora. But until then if you want a quick and easy way to use enlightenment you can get it from the repo i have mentioned before.

Note:

If you can't get the update and you have used the repo before do a yum clean metadata then update enlightenment. Also make sure that you update e_modues-engage as well, that is if you are using it.

Other than that not much to report.

Enjoy.

So i updated the packages again and you can get the elf library 1.7.2 with enlightenment alpha 4. I also added in terminology.

You will need to use the same repo. And sorry this is only for x86_64 systems right now.

cat /etc/yum.repos.d/Enlightenment.repo
[Enlightenment]
name=Enlightenment for Fedora $releasever
baseurl=http://edmann.com/Enlightenment/repo/Fedora/$releasever
enabled=1
metadata_expire=7d
gpgcheck=0

So enjoy!

So i have been holding out on people in having an easy way to try out Enlightenment  on their Fedora 17 systems. I wrote a very generic and non-error checking script to build Enlightenment and the Enlightenment Foundation Libraries. I have been using this method to update my work and home machines and not having to build on two different systems. Also if i tired it on one and it did not work i then did not update the second system.

I do my builds on a vm instance of Fedora 17. That way if i wreck it it's an easy recovery from a snapshot i do before the build. So here is the repo info you will need to use the packages i have built. I have not gpg signed these packages. I have the docs on how to do it and i will get it done if i get a response that people will actually be using this repo.

cat /etc/yum.repos.d/Enlightenment.repo
[Enlightenment]
name=Enlightenment for Fedora $releasever
baseurl=http://edmann.com/Enlightenment/repo/Fedora/$releasever
enabled=1
metadata_expire=7d
gpgcheck=0
 

I was planning on pinging the manager for Enlightenment on the Fedora project, i have just been to busy to get around to it.

Please let me know if this is repo is usefull to you. I should also post a screenshot or a video or something to show how nice e17 really is. The new default theme in alpha3 is really nice, there is currently some problems with building alpha4. From the mailing list they are working on how to resolve this.
